Reason

How can it be like this? It doesn't make sense! Cantory yelled inwardly. He even felt a little dizzy as he couldn't believe his ears at all. After saying so much, he still didn't get Lin Li's nod of approval, yet now it came unexpectedly.

Did he just agree to help so quickly? Could it be that this president of the Tower of Dusk is really a kind-hearted person who likes to help others?

However, after snapping out of his shock, Cantory also immediately figured out that Lin Li was not helping others out of kindness, but was simply trying to give himself more reason to bargain for more during the negotiation later. During a cooperation, they would have an equal status. However, by asking for help, Cantory would clearly be putting himself and the Gilded Kingdom in a position that was lower than the Tower of Dusk's. Although the party that was requesting for help could not give everything the other party wanted, he had no rights to bargain.
